Case Study: TasRail achieves secure, highly available email and 80% fewer support calls with Mimecast

TasRail gets its email security on track with Mimecast

TasRail, the state-owned operator of Tasmania’s 150‑year‑old freight rail network with about 250 staff, faced a critical messaging challenge after a ransomware incident exposed the limits of its on‑premises security. With increasingly mobile workers and a move toward Office 365, the IT team needed a cloud-ready solution to stop ransomware and business email compromise while keeping operations available 24x7.

TasRail implemented Mimecast Email Security and the M2A archiving bundle, immediately reducing malicious email and BEC attacks and cutting email‑related support calls by about 80%, saving the company thousands of dollars per month. The solution provided quieter, more reliable inboxes, improved threat visibility through reporting, continuous archive availability for staff in the field, and paved the way for a broader cloud modernization of the company’s communications.
